New ‘discreet’ Viagra Launched ending Embarrassment Of Blue Pill

The makers of Viagra are set to introduce a brand-new ‘discrete’ kind of the drug that will change the renowned – and immediately recognisable – little blue pill.

The distinct diamond-shaped tablets might soon be replaced by a pink, rectangle-shaped ‘wafer’ that liquifies on the tongue, meaning it does not need to be taken with water.

About half of guys over 40 suffer erectile dysfunction in the UK and last year there was a record 4.57 million prescriptions for Viagra on the NHS.

The drug initially concerned the marketplace in the 1990s after being developed by the American pharmaceutical business Pfizer.

It was first established in the 1980s as a heart disease medication, however trial individuals noticed it had an unusual adverse effects – frequent erections.

Now, Pfizer spin-off Viatris, which owns the Viagra name and brand name, has actually requested a hallmark in the UK for the brand-new type of the drug, Viagra ODF.

Viatris has actually currently launched the Viagra ODF in Canada and marketed it as being ‘thin and discreet’ which might be more effective for lots of consumers.

The distinct tablets – which can trigger shame for some clients – has been transformed and a new dissolvable type might be available to Brits in the next 5 years. Stock image

‘Tablets are not always bearable to patients and likewise sometimes the size of tablets may put clients off having them,’ Thorrun Govind, pharmacist and health specialist, informed The Telegraph.

She added: ‘Some males may still be finding the principle of having Viagr embarrassing, but I would hope that males’s health and conversations about sexual health have actually carried on given that Viagra was very first created.’

Ms Govind believes this brand-new design is a ‘positive advance’.

The new dissolvable medication is believed to most likely concerned the UK imminently.

Rebecca Anderson-Smith, partner and chartered trade mark lawyer at Mewburn Ellis, told the newspaper that the trademark application is a ‘good sign’ it will be offered within the next five years.

She described trade mark registrations can be cancelled if they are not used for a continuous duration of 5 years or more after registration. As a result, it seems Viatris intends to release the product within the next few years.

However, approving a trademark would not ensure the ODF could be offered and it would have to be authorized by the Medicines & Healthcare items Regulatory Agency initially.

It’s anticipated to cost the exact same as the tablet version and to be available in the same dosages.

An overall of 4.57 million prescriptions for sildenafil, more typically known by the brand Viagra, and other types of impotency drugs offered under the brand name names Cialis and Levitra, were dispensed by the health service in 2023

This comes after dodgy Viagra was found to be Britain’s biggest fake drug after more than ₤ 6.2 countless phony blue pill were taken by UK regulators in 2023.

More products of the erectile dysfunction drug were found than knock-off variations of pain relievers like morphine.

Health authorities said online merchants flouting regulations were behind the counterfeit materials with a lot of being imported from countries like India without an appropriate licence.

Data, from UK regulator The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), show 2.6 million dosages of sildenafil, the generic name for the medication best referred to as Viagra, were seized last year.

Another half-million doses of tadalafil, another erectile dysfunction drug offered under the brand name Cialis worth ₤ 1.2 million were also taken.

While all medications carry potential negative effects drugs from undependable sources might either not work or bring ingredients or contaminants like heavy metals or other drugs that could be dangerous.
